Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who wrote the season two episode "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish"?

Answer: Nell Scovell

She was a one-time writer. There have been a few of those over the show's long history, including Brian K. Roberts.

2. In the season five episode "Lady Bouvier's Lover", which movie is the closing sequence a parody of?

Answer: The Graduate

It shows Grampa and Jackie Bouvier fleeing the church together a la Benjamin and Elaine in the movie. Incidentally, "The Graduate" is the favourite movie of David Mirkin', who was the show-runner at the time.

3. Which former U.S. Vice President once appeared on an alarm clock in an episode?

Answer: Spiro Agnew

This was a funny gag from the season seven episode, "Mother Simpson". Agnew served as Vice President under Richard Nixon from 1969-1973.

Gerald Ford had a more prominent role in the episode "Two Bad Neighbors", where he moved in across the street from the Simpsons.

4. Which season one episode had to be re-animated?

Answer: Some Enchanted Evening

It was actually the very first episode to be animated and recorded, although due to the errors, it turned out to be the season finale.

5. What was the last episode which Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein were show-runners on?

Answer: Lisa the Simpson

Bill and Josh ran the show in seasons seven and eight. "Lisa the Simpson" originally aired in season nine, but it was a hold-over from eight. They went on to create "Mission Hill", another animated series.

6. Who was the first guest-star to 'appear' in a season 17 episode?

Answer: Alec Baldwin

It was the season premiere "Bonfire of the Manatees". He voiced scientist Dr. Caleb Thorn.
Macy voiced himself in the episode "Homer's Paternity Coot".
Sarandon voiced a ballet instructor in "Homer vs. Patty and Selma".
Thomas voiced prohibitionist Rex Banner in "Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment.

7. What was the name of Grandpa Simpson's girlfriend in the episode "Old Money"?

Answer: Bea

She passed away during the same episode, and Grandpa has had several more unsuccessful relationships since.

8. The chalkboard gag "The boys' room is not a water park" appears in the opening titles of which episode?

Answer: Lisa the Vegetarian

Yeah....well done if you got that. With regards to the chalkboard gags in the other three episodes....

"Bart Gets An F" - "I will not encourage others to fly."
"Trash of the Titans" didn't have one (as it featured a shorter title sequence).
"Grift of the Magi" - "I will not sell my kidney on eBay."

9. What actor is seen working at a bar in "Itchy and Scratchy Land"?

Answer: John Travolta

The episode was aired during season six. Ironically, "Pulp Fiction" was released shortly afterwards, which revitalized Travolta's career.

10. Who voices Mrs. (Edna) Krabappel?

Answer: Marcia Wallace

Wallace is one of the most regular guest stars on the show having voiced the character since the first season.
